Capital Area District Libraries (CADL) Summer Reading Challenge
The Capital Area District Libraries 2026 Summer Reading Challenge runs June 5-August 8, 2026. This year's theme is 'Uncover a Story', inviting you to dig into a good book, history, science, art and more.
Reading is a fun and relaxing way to spend the summer and a great way for kids to avoid the summer slide—the decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur while school is not in session.
A great way to avoid the slide is to sign up for CADL's free Summer Reading Challenge. Participants simply track the number of days read and do fun activities to earn points they can redeem for prizes. All ages are invited to participate!
